I have a friend who is going to accompany me to Alaska on a Caribou hunt/Fishing float trip and he's going to carry his S&W 500. He's looking for information on or a source for shot loads for his pistola. Has anyone here developed a shot load for the S&W 500 or know of a source of such ammo. He's going to carry it loaded with 500 Grain Hard Cast while we're on the river, but when in the bush he want to tag a couple Ptarmigan with it. Any info on this would be much appreciated. I'm going to be carrying my .44 Mag for which I can load speer shot cups if I get the urge to shoot Ptarmigan. Thanks
Jim

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks quite straightforward. I do load, but we love 200 miles apart, so it would be a pain to help him with this. He does have local friends who will be able to help him. I'll post any relevant info later if he has any success with it.
